DDR 2018 Wishlist

This post will appear on the next page!
- No more shitty announcers and cheers so someone like Master2Unknown can do their lineout jobs lmao
- Realistically, more japanese songs, maybe latest anime songs too (i’m watching you jubeat and pop’n)
- in-game shop, just like the CS SuperNOVA shop or the SDVX station thing
- game engine change
- no more dancing characters and stages, just generic videos or unique videos
- what about the charcters? maybe as icons, or SDVX-like navigators
- Bemani New Face Contest for DDR (yes, i mean it, doujin musicians on DDR)
- P O L I C Y B R E A K A N D F L O O R I N F E C T I O N F O R D D R W H E N
- and lastly, Konami, just make an official DDR twitter page already gdi, other bemani games have ones c’mon

by game engine change, this can apply to hardware changes too

oh one more thing, DJ YOSHITAKA as the producer

fuk, maybe implementing single shock arrows and hands help? idk DDR suddenly becomes ITG again and soon, SDVX

Regarding first and second points in my quote box, I would like some customizations like in IIDX, which includes different announcers and individual changes in the theme. The only thing is that I'd want options on the website. DDR should stay simple.

Third point: not going to probably happen. Personally, the dancing stages are great because I can see the arrows better than in a bright background video.

Last point: ABSOLUTELY NOT

Individual mines in ITG never made sense. DDR already makes you twinkle-toe steps and they actually do a good job with the shock arrows. I like them because they make sense and would love to see more of them and get implemented in old songs. "Recent" songs like Top the Charts are one of the best Shock Arrows chart.

One example is giving shock arrows to the song is Happy Wedding from Extreme.

Ha - ppy - you
Step shock arrow step

For example.

>ddr like sdvx
i absolutely hope not, i don't wanna see big-breasted girls on jackets, and the same generic 200 BPM hardcore music with 100 bpm slowdowns :/

Sign me up.

Wish List for DDR 2018:
1. Same songlist all regions
2. See #1

On a more serious and constructive note, I wish Konami would add more variety to the DDR gameplay. I've been an OG DDR fan for years and I've played every song at least once, so there's not a whole lot to look forward to each time I visit the arcade.

What I'd love to see is a daily or weekly mission that encouraged players to try new songs or play styles.

Something similar they've already implemented was the Yuniverse Hills event from DDR 2014. Every single day, players were provided a set of 3 songs to play, and if you cleared them all you'd get points to unlock new songs. It encouraged me to play songs I wasn't familiar with, and provided a unique goal every time I played. Maybe Konami could implement something like this again, like weekly objectives that required you to play with forced mods or clear all the songs from a particular artist. You could get rewarded points to go toward unlocking a new song or costume for your dancers.

I don't think it'd take very much effort either

yeah but isn't the focus of DDR the arrows? the novelty would be gone after a while

---

Tell that to SDVX and BeatStream (R.I.P. )

---

Boobs and novelty? That never mix for me.

- a fucking Dan system
- updated bg stages
- dancer revivals, with new + old outfits for dancers that are interchangeable
- more originals from KONAMI artists who haven’t made a contribution yet
- a new 19 that isn’t just a gimmick shitshow
- more western pop music
- beatnation RHYZE artists
- more shock arrow charts
- a new crossover event
- music from Japanese electronic artists (YUC’e, banvox, etc)

Tell It To My Heart would be nice

fucking this, so kaiden course gonna have endy valky paraevo in it; course mode and drill course returning can happen too

YES PLEASE

Except for that last bit: Kaiden should be the three hardest songs in the game, which would be EGOISM, OTP, and ENDYMION.

---

>Implying EGOISM 440 is harder than Valkyrie Dimension

VDO, OT'P', ENDYMION, if we're going pure hardest

(now, for playability in 19s, it's probably EGOISM, OTP, ENDYMION - though it's arguable whether PRevo or OTP is the more playable 19)

Though if we're on the subject of 19's another 19 that doesn't have spins would be nice, preferably with less filler steps this time

On Doubles? Oh yeah.

This post is fucking terrible.

You can pattern mines like shock arrows.
You can't pattern shock arrows like mines.

All people who make simfiles today like or at least accept mines, most people agree shock arrows are a fucking shitshow with the forced quads and the disappearing arrows.

And why the hell would you want MORE limitations rather than less?

There are a few charts that actually use shock arrows pretty well in my opinion like smoooch , SigSig , Ishtar , and New Century , but other than those few, shock arrows are bullshit and need to stop. On the other hand, I've seen plenty of ITG charts with mines that work pretty well, even in shock arrow-like patterns.

---

Come back when you've actually played them. It doesn't sound like you do.

If there is any complaint worth warranting, is that the timing window for shock arrows are wide. This is hearsay.

I have played them. Some charts are good, like the aforementioned smooooch, but the vast majority are a diaper-filled dumpster fire. While ITG mines can be misused, the community-driven nature of the game means nobody plays shitshow charts and the increased freedom means there's far more room for creativity and tastefulness.

And again, you can pattern mines like shock arrows but you can't do the opposite.

Yeah, our DDR girls aren't as well endowed as Sound Voltex's, and I agree that it's better that way.

I'd still like them on jackets, though. especially rinon

creativity is limited when it comes to shock arrows, there's not much you can do when you have to put down 4 mines in a row. Freedom to put mines anywhere a la ITG allows for greater creativity and more possibility as far as patterning steps, marking pauses and stutters, and footswitches as some stepartists tend to use them for.

I know ZIv is generally anti-ITG, but you can at least recognize that ITG mines are always going to be better than the shock arrows that weren't even an original idea, and there's a lack of creativity that goes into just trimming down the note count from the expert chart, pasting into challenge (or even making an original challenge chart just for this stupid shit), just to use an obnoxious gimmick that took years before you understood how to use it halfway decently.
